McMillan was educated at Jefferson College, the institution founded by his uncle, the Rev. John McMillan, graduating with the Jefferson class of 1802, the first class to graduate from the newly chartered college.[1] He was one of the founders of the Philo Literary Society at Jefferson College.[1][2]
He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Ohio on June 27, 1804, and was ordained June 26, 1806.[1]
McMillan resigned the presidency of Jefferson on August 14, 1822, after the Board of Trustees dropped charges the faculty had brought against several students for slandering his teaching and administrative abilities. He went on to be president of Franklin College, in Ohio. He died in New Athens, Ohio on April 11, 1832.[3]
